The Sheep Detectives (2026) 95% B EDIT “For a family-friendly whodunit that perceptively investigates emotionally complex themes such as death, devotion, and discrimination without pulling the wool over younger viewers' eyes, The Sheep Detectives is a sheer delight.” – Rogers TV May 5, 2026 Full Review Sk+te'kmujue'katik (At The Place of Ghosts) (2025) 100% B EDIT “A supernatural slow burn finds its footing along the way, but overreaches when applying certain VFX-rendered designs that feel artificial in the organic environment.” – Rogers TV May 5, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% C EDIT “Acknowledging dwindling aspirations alongside frothy, escapist entertainment loses its feel-good balance, striking a dour pose in haute couture.” – Rogers TV May 1, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% B- EDIT “Besides being a one-word title enthusiast, Caveat and Oddity filmmaker Damian McCarthy excels at slowly turning the supernatural screw, making unsettled audiences interrogate ominously lit spaces and inanimate objects. ” – Rogers TV May 1, 2026 Full Review Deep Water (2026) 73% C+ EDIT “CGI jump sharks, and above-average spectacle don’t fill the dead space for nearly two hours, where budgetary restrictions noticeably surface in addition to repetitive attacks. ” – Rogers TV May 1, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 97% C+ EDIT “You're being spoon-fed sympathy instead of empathizing naturally with the protagonist's experience. ” – Rogers TV Apr 25, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% B+ EDIT “Summoning formidable performances from Hathaway and Coel, A Ghost Story director David Lowery uses this phantasmagorical barnburner to ruminate on creative uncertainty.” – Rogers TV Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 97% A+ EDIT “A quietly profound masterpiece, Blue Heron resoundingly soars.” – Rogers TV Apr 23, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 96% B+ EDIT “Swiftly minimizing unnecessary heist-adjacent plotting, Solomon decisively condenses predictable revelations and demonstrates how clear, confident storytelling economically circumvents wasted time. ” – Rogers TV Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% B- EDIT “Keeping the who and why of the virtual purgatory vague also works in favour of one of the best video game adaptations, though that says little given the competition.” – Rogers TV Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% B+ EDIT “How to Blow Up a Pipeline filmmakers Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei give the people what they want, even if they don't know it, which is a subversively smart reimagining of cult compilations in the era of infinite doomscrolling. ” – Rogers TV Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% D EDIT “Doubling down on the box office success of its brightly coloured predecessor, Nintendo reteams with Illumination for a stultifying sequel that cynically exploits gamer nostalgia.” – Rogers TV Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% C EDIT “Packed with provocation, The Drama superficially misfires in its performative execution. ” – Rogers TV Apr 2, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% C EDIT “When fledgling filmmakers cheapen already diluted inspirations, hoping to make the immortal list of populist auteurs, those ambitions can grate stylistically.” – Rogers TV Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% C EDIT “Internal terror excreting convoluted, nonlinear melancholy causes incoherent corrosion of banal body-horror concepts. ” – Rogers TV Mar 27, 2026 Full Review The Things You Kill (2025) 94% A EDIT “What daringly flips the tired old revenge script on its genre head, internalizes unspeakable evil that can manifest in times of tragedy. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Maya & Samar (2025) B- EDIT “The leads’ chemistry goes a long way in a plot that skims the surface of deeper concerns before neatly concluding, rarely dwelling on conflicts for more than an episodic beat. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% B+ EDIT “A must-see space odyssey theatrically blasts off on IMAX screens as the first great blockbuster of 2026. ” – Rogers TV Mar 20, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% B+ EDIT “Just remember to like, subscribe, and leave a positive review if you enjoyed the frighteningly poignant pastiche that weaponizes safe spaces. ” – Rogers TV Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% B- EDIT “Earnestly stated, Jesse Andrews’ anthropomorphized screenplay gets undercut when zany antics override the clever conceit. ” – Rogers TV Mar 7, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE!
